This was the second outing for my project and this was definetly an outing I was exactly looking for and these were drag queens and cross dressers that showed full confidence and there was a variety of different looks and they all looked so glamourous and know exactly what they are doing as they dressed, they look so much like women and I admire these men for that.

I went to the village in Birmingham and I met three fantastic cross dressers and these people were called Raven, Baga chipz aka Nicole and Miss Diva, I was so happy to have found them as I got some fantastic results that night and it took me a good few nights to go out and find these exact people that I wanted to find and also to stay in contact with to do further shoots and also these people have become a friend to me and I am glad to have found these nice and very photogenic people.
